Approach
1.
In the Navigation under CPU main module, click on Device identification.
2. Specify device identification attributes for the safety controller.
7.4.3 Protecting the configuration in the SmartPlug with a password
Approach
1.
In the Navigation under CPU main module, click on Password protection.
2. Select the Upload only as authorized client option.
Complementary information
The password is stored in the SmartPlug. The password protection is therefore still
effective if the main module is replaced.
7.4.4 Adding expansion modules
Overview
T
he Catalog shows, in the Modules area, all expansion modules that can be added. A
version can be selected for the module, if applicable.
Approach
1. In the Navigation pane, click on Hardware configuration.
2. In the Catalog under Modules, select the version of an expansion module if applica‐
ble.
3. Drag an expansion module in the Catalog to the desired position. Alternatively,
double-click on an expansion module.
✓
The expansion module is added to the workspace.
